Side-Income Idea Validator
Stress-test a side hustle before you invest your evenings.
What you get: A scorecard, a cheap validation test and a go/no-go rule.
I'm considering this side-income idea: {{idea}}. I can spend {{hours_per_week}} hours a week and {{budget}}. My skills: {{skills}}.
Evaluate it honestly: who exactly pays, how they find me, a realistic price range and income range (labelled as estimates, with assumptions), time to first dollar, the biggest reason it could fail, the work that scales vs the work that doesn't, platform or legal risks, and how it compares with two alternatives. Then design a 14-day validation test costing under {{test_budget}} with a clear pass/fail threshold, and tell me the decision rule: when to continue, pivot or stop. Be skeptical and specific — no hype.
